Hey everyone, T.G.I.F.! Labor Day weekend is officially upon us as we prepare for another hot and steamy few days at PG. The summer season is clearly refusing to leave without a fight with temps near 100° forecasted through Monday (heat and humidity warnings were in place already this morning). I don’t know about you, but I’m ready! I can’t wait to chill out at home for a long relaxing weekend with Nick and the grandkids. Traveling over the holidays has long lost it’s appeal, especially since I have everything I could ever need right here at Anchor Point. Living on the lake certainly has its advantages when the weather heats up like this… From boating, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, to jet skiing – we’ve got it all literally in the back yard. Leaving to go hang out somewhere else for any extended period of time simply doesn’t make sense anymore. Not to mention, something about staying home and enjoying everything I’ve worked so hard for is much more appealing at this point – call me crazy!
What are your plans for the big holiday weekend? Do you travel or stay home? Is there a big party in your near future, or are you a more of a “layin’ low” type of person? Either way, a long weekend always means there is the potential for more time to stitch! That works out well for those of you participating in the Twilight Stars Quilt-Along since as of right now, you have two new blocks to work on. This week’s blocks are #22 and #91!
Want to join the fun? One of the cool things about this QAL is that it’s never too late to start! You can find all the details on the Twilight Stars Quilt-Along by clicking HERE! An explanation about how the quilt-along works and the required supplies can be found at the Twilight Stars Info Page by hitting the button below! Patterns are found in my book Triangle Gatherings, which you can purchase on our website by clicking HERE.
Like prizes? Remember to post photos of your progress for a chance to win one of Heidi’s famous goodie bags! All you have to do is post a photo of your completed blocks each week before the release of the next batch, including the required book Triangle Gatherings and Primitive Gatherings Triangle Paper in the picture. Please also include the hashtag #TwilightStarsQAL in your post! Heidi will choose a weekly random winner until the end of the QAL. I announce the winner each week during my LIVE show every Thursday, so make sure you post before noon central standard time that day. Congratulations to this week’s lucky winner, Sharon Tseu and her trusty assistant “Jack.” Nice work you two!
…and since we’re on the topic of winners, let’s keep it going! Congratulations to Ganene B. and Jeannette N. – this week’s lucky comment winners! In other words.. They’re getting a prize just for leaving me a comment here on the blog. Want one for yourself?

Alright everyone, that’s it for today! One quick reminder – we will be CLOSED Monday, September 4th, 2023 in observance of the holiday. We will reopen Tuesday, September 5th at 10:00 a.m. With that, I wish you all a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. Make sure to drink LOTS of water, make good choices, and most importantly… HAVE FUN! See you all next week! ~Lisa
